Appletun
Base Stats: 110 / 85 / 85 (+5) / 105 (+5) / 85 ( + 5) / 30 BST: 500 (+15)
Abilities: Ripen / Liquid Ooze / Thick Fat
Movepool: +Hidden Power, +Return, + Frustration, +Sweet Scent, -Hyper Beam, -Giga Impact
Apple Acid: 70 Base Power, 100% accuracy, super effect against Steel
Reasoning: slight increase to base stats because its just a tad weak and frail for a defense or tank role. Standard move changes for gen 8s and sweet scent is just because it has sweet nectar that attracts bugs, even though it has no competitive value. Liquid Ooze replaces Gluttony because two berry based abilities is stupid and it has a ton of nectar. Apple Acid is a grass type version of CFM Acid which makes for a cool signature and a special move to hit steels without giving it Flamethrower or some shit for no reason.
Flapple:
Base Stats: 70 / 110 / 80 / 100 (+5) / 65 (+5) / 75 (+5) BSt: 500 (+15)
Abilities: Ripen / Liquid Ooze / Hustle
Movepool: +Aerial Ace, +Rock Smash, +Hidden Power, + Return, + Frustration, +Sweet Scent, -Hyper Beam, -Giga Impact
Grav Apple: 80 BP, 100% accuracy, never misses against grounded opponents, 1.5x damage during gravity
Reasoning: Little stat buffs to enable its mixed wallbreaking potential, speed, and atrocious special bulk a little bit. Liquid Ooze for the same reason as Appletun. Aerial Ace is added because it doesn't have it despite having a ton of flying moves, and Rock Smash for a shit physical move to hit steel types that could be fun with the fact we have Z-Moves. Other move changes are for the same reasons as Appletun, although Sweet Scent just maybe has some meme value to bypass Hustle's accuracy drop. Grav Apple synergizes very well with Hustle and also stays true to the idea of what the move is, an apple falling from the sky. The boosted damage in gravity combined with never missing against grounded opponents makes Flapple + Gravity teams a potentially deadly gimmick.
Edit: If you vote for me I will happily take up the idea Dramps had for Ripen boosting Leftovers
